Just like the competition mSI finally announces its GTX 1630 with the AERO ITX and VENTUS models, offered in two variants: OC or not OC. As a reminder, the GTX 1630 take over from the GT 1030 with consumptions lower than 75 Watt.
MSI GTX 1630 VENTUS XS 4GB: a 178mm dual fan card
We start the tour of the new MSI models with the VENTUS XS 4GB, also available in OC version. This card has a dual-fan heatsink in a compact format with dimensions of 178 x 112 x 39 mm for 446g. We find the design of the previous RTX 20 VENTUS of the brand with a white fairing and a touch of green. From a characteristic point of view we are on a TU117 chip base in 512 CUDA cores, 32 TMU and 16 ROP configurations. We note the frequencies of 1785 MHz and 1815 MHz for the OC version. The memory is based on a 64-bit bus at 6000 MHz, i.e. 96 Gb/s in maximum speed. Concerning the connectivity we have 1 DisplayPort 1.4, 1 HDMI 2.0b and a DVI-D. The power supply of the card will only go through the PCIe x16 connector because no auxiliary power supply is necessary.
MSI GTX 1630 AERO ITX 4G: The mini format 75W
Like the VENTUS, this AERO ITX is also available in an OC version. This card has a single fan heat sink with a length equal to that of an ITX motherboard. The dimensions are 170 x 112 x 39 mm and 388g. The design is taken from the previous AERO ITX versions such as the GTX 1650 AERO ITX. On the characteristics side, we find the same GPU configuration as the VENTUS. The frequencies are 1785 MHz and 1815 MHz for the OC version. Once again, the memory is based on a 64-bit bus at 6000 MHz, i.e. 96 Gb/s of bandwidth. Regarding the connectivity we have a DisplayPort 1.4, HDMI 2.0b and DVI-D. The power supply of the card will only go through the PCIe x16 connector, again, no additional power supply is required. For the moment we do not know the price of these cards.
